The Great "What Men Want For Christmas Under £75 Bargain" Hunt.

I want to tap MoneySaving men's brains to see what they want for Christmas/Chanucah and also where the cheapest place to buy it is.

Hopefully this way it'll provide research and information for MoneySaving women. Add yours/read others.

What counts?

Any gift you're interested in would be great. Even better if you know where to source it cheaply and its a bargain. Don't feel it needs to be at or near £75. If its a cheaper bargain then please feel free

How to suggest

Simply click the reply button. If you could answer in this format it'd make scanning it easier.

    My DH hates gadgets or anything that is not "useful" so he is getting slippers, two pairs of pyjamas and a jumper.

    I got a wind up radio and torch but may keep this for myself as I do not want the moaning from him when he sees it.

    May get him a large bar of chocolate but Dds will scoff it when he is not looking.

    Sat Nav - a great device that may save a few arguments and your marriage. Never be lost again!

    Ok, maybe not under £75 unless your man has a PDA, in which case you can get him a copy of Tom Tom 5 and a GPS receiver off eBay for about £60 (for both).

    If you decide to get these, PM me or check in the techie forum for advice on which ones got get!!!
